Kernel 2.2.16 and code review

[Rich Graves]

Speaking of code review, any system with untrusted local shell users needs
to be upgraded to kernel 2.2.16 immediately to address a design flaw
in the capabilities system. I got all our boxes a few hours ago [sic]. See

OpenBSD is looking better every day... but I still run Linux everywhere
for the applications.

Please don't talk to me about Windows 2000. If you did, it might become illegal
for me to support it. http://www.salon.com/tech/log/2000/05/11/slashdot_censor/
